Rich,
I am also building a station on a Caribbean island and will be using runs of
LMR600 and LMR400. For the past 12 years I have been using such coax from Jefa
Tech with absolutely zero issues in the harsh VE3 environment. Jefa Tech's coax
is my choice for the Caribbean as well.

It's been a while (maybe 10 years) since I have purchased coax. I have
purchased RG-213, LM-400, and RG-8x in the past. For a new station build, I am
interested in acquiring some RG-8 (generic size) coax. I see that DX
Engineering has a new 400MAX coax offering, which is described attractively on
their website. RG-8 size coax will probably be used for short runs (antennas to
stackmatching boxes) and also for some long runs (shack to antenna, maybe 200
foot runs).
The station will be on a Caribbean island. Dilligent attempts will be made to
seal connections very well. I believe coax runs will be above-ground. Some
antennas will rotate.
I realize this question may be too generic, but what might folks here on
Towertalk recommend for these applications?
Thanks and 73,
Rich, N6KT
